Bring Out The Dresses! Transitioning From Winter To Spring

image
If you're like me, you're ready for spring. And while the weather may not be, that doesn't mean you have to wait. As the spring collections become available, start incorporating pieces into your winter wardrobe. Dresses with the trends from this spring--bright colors, bold patterns, prairie themes--go great with boots, or better booties! Choose dresses with spring themes in heavier fabrics, pair them with boots, and depending on your zip code, add stockings or leggings for extra insulation. Still looking overcast and gloomy outside your window? It is time to ditch the drab colors and glum charcoals. Charm the sun into the skies with brighter looks! Check out some great pairing ideas on the slideshow.

Diamonds For Valentine's Day, And Every Occasion

image
As the adage goes, diamonds are a girl's best friend. As far as Valentine's Day gifts go, flowers wilt and chocolate inevitably goes from lips to hips pretty quickly. And a diamond (or diamonds as the case may be!) doesn't have to been a huge investment, or a lifetime commitment. For men shopping for your wife, girlfriend, sweetheart, secret office crush...there's something for everybody out there, and if you're the slightest bit unsure, Dior's ''Oui' diamond ring makes the perfect statement. For girls, we all know it doesn't hurt to steer those men in the right direction, or we can shop for our friends, mothers, sisters, and of course, ourselves. From simple earrings to ornate necklaces all the way to engagement rings, with diamonds in every size and shape, a little bit of sparkle might just be the perfect gift.
